Dr. Cranky Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Glad you got to see it, Liam. I'd like to know the background of how it got started, who put up all of those millions to get it done and maintained. The country? The city? Tax payer money? I wonder.

Joe Handley Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Glad you got to see it, Liam. I'd like to know the background of how it got started, who put up all of those millions to get it done and maintained. The country? The city? Tax payer money? I wonder. The way I understand it, the guys who own it are night club owners and/or promoters and model rail roading was a shared hobby of theirs. I guess they starting building this for fun and thought it might make a good side business too, so they opened it to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Joseph Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's hard to come up with adjectives to describe this. Impressive, entertaining, complex, disturbing... take your pick. All of it is a work of engineering art and it's a testament to German craftsmanship. Thanks for posting this, Doc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks for the information, Joe. Yes, in order to do this kind of layout you need deep pockets or a way to recover your expenses . . . those airplanes taking off and the boats moving across water are unBELIEVABLE.!

58 Impala Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I saw this Video last week, that layout is absolutely amazing. But I'm not surprised, I spent 2 tours in Germany while in the AF. The Germans never do anything half way, they take pride in things they build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imatt88 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 WOW, is that amazing! Leave it to the Germans to come up with something like that The airplanes taking off and landing was so cool.... Gerry Anderson would be proud! Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 There is a website that has tons of info, background and video. It is all in HO scale. They modify existing kits or scratchbuild. There is a working airport that they have fun with from time to time (Christmas time Santa and the reindeer land and take-off) with a crash crew that can be 'dispatched' to the 'crash'. The computer work is as amazing as the modelling. The little vignets and details are truly astonishing. Here's the link to the website.
